my son just graduated from the business school. he had a grand total of 3 books for the year. He just said virtually everything is power points, or online sites you subscribe to to do homework, etc. I think science majors are more likely to have books and those are pricey. I don't know if the athletic department uses the rental services but they are cheap and easy. Point is, that's not a big expense.
Upper level classes are different, and are more directed study.
First couple of years of B-School (mostly) still use traditional texts (for now). I do think things are going to change rapidly from here on out.
